As part of the 2007 Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act, a Pet Food Early Warning Surveillance System was created. The goal of the surveillance system is to quickly identify contaminated pet food and illness outbreaks associated with pet food. The system uses data collected by two surveillance resources – FDA’s Consumer Complaint Reporting System and the Safety Reporting Portal – to coordinate and disseminate information about pet food-related problems.
